Captain Jack Lets Jasmine Go | Small Worlds | Torchwood

"Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose" 😔 That line sums up this episode.

I think the scary part of this is how the girl isn’t put off by their threats of mass murder at all. She wants to join them and doesn’t care about the others they’ll punish if she’s stopped

The child was happy in the end, she wasn't harmed or fearful, she willingly left, and I can't blame her. She had an abusive stepfather, and neglectful mother, and anyone around her was mean. If you ask me, she got a better deal. Sometimes what you think is the wrong thing turns out to be the best thing.

I feel so sorry for Jack. He had no other alternative but to let the child go, even if all morals had to be put aside to do that. It’s obvious this decision hurt him.

The thumbnail suggests "Torchwood strangles a child while bird-watching."

Ok, Children of Earth was dark, but this episode was so depressing that rewatching it was honesty a challenge. The simple theme here is tragedy, yet in some twisted way, it's sweet too cause Jasmine's happy now. Torchwood is genius at making you feel multiple emotions, while telling a truly heartbreaking story at the same time. There's no show like this one, seriously!

Bruh touchwood was the best spin off show...so many times the team was tested to make the hardest decisions. It still kills me when his grandson was scarified or when Esther died and just the idea of the crematoriums in miracle day. I really hope they do another season. I literally rewatched this show on prime about 3x now. It’s still so damn good.

Unlike Doctor Who, Torchwood perfectly shows that not everything has a happy end to it.

This hurt a lot less when I didn't have kids...

What makes this episode so frightening is that these fairies are the REAL ones of legend. Tinkerbell and her lot are what we did to make them appealing to our more childlike sides, made them happy and carefree and giggly, but the Fae of legends are vengeful, immortal and powerful creatures who are quick to anger and deadly in retribution. They are above our concepts of morality, beyond our abilites to detect and outside our comprehension of nature. They steal away human children to continue their race, as they are immortal but unable to breed, and keep to their forests whilst we hide in our cities. But as the city encroaches on the forest, we run the risk of provoking their wrath......

The Doctor could've saved the girl AND stopped the Fae. But he's an immortal demigod with untold powers over time, probability and such.

This was such a dark sad ending, it made perfect sense though Jack knew he couldn't beat them and all he could do is plead they look after her. I hope the Doctor meets them, he might not even be able to beat them but he is certainly more equipped to having a Tardis ect

thats the difference to doctor who... but i "love" these dark moments

It’s amazing that a show related to Doctor Who shows that there is not always a perfect solution and this is probably the best example in Torchwood with Adrift coming in as a close second, both bring a tear to the eye

John has always been so good at portraying Captain Jack’s emotions. there’s never a moment where i’m not convinced he is Jack and that he’s truly feeling what i’m meant to believe he feels.

Peter capaldi 12 dr was right "sometimes u always have bad choices but u still have to choice." Poor jack h

The women acting as the mom is amazing, she made me feel the most, just wow

Please tell me I wasn’t the only that cried when watching the episode?

This is what I loved about Torchwood. The hard choices they had to make. There were very few, truly happy endings.

I thought torchwood was back but this is just a clip of old episode 😭
